I thought this was a thread about older high end GPUs?

Back in my day, all GPUs were high end because that's all there was.

3Dfx Voodoo 3000 AGP(?)


3Dfx Voodoo 5500 AGP

3DFX build WIP

its not currently in a system... but... here's a few pics of my W.I.P. 3DFX build.

First a shot of all the expansion cards plugged in. Looks a bit random... but I shall explain.



A shot of the two VOODOOII 3DFX cards. One from Diamond which will take a video signal from a hardware DVD decoder. The 2nd is from Canopus. It'll send the final video feed to my 27in Sony Trinitron TV.



The "back" view of the two 3DFX cards.



This shot is of the Matrox card I'll use for non-3DFX mode. There will be a VGA cable running from it to the hardware DVD decoder card, which is a Dxr2 from Creative. The video out will run via VGA to the Diamond 3DFX card. There will also be audio cables running from the DVD rom drive to the Dxr2, then from the Dxr2 to a Sound Blaster Live!



And finally a shot of the sound and lan cards. The lan is your basic 10/100 from Belkin. Then there's the Creative Sound Blaster Live!



and since no-one else has posted... time for some mobile GPUs. Mobility Fire GL T2 and 9600. Both are 128mb.





And a 3DFX voodoo3000 16mb.



someone asked for an FX card... i've got a BFG 5500OC i'll post a little later.

and later a pic of my 8800GT, which I'm still using. (anyone remember my thread about baking one?)

Enjoy!

Edit: @MastrDrver Yes that 2nd card is a v3 3000 but its pci. has 16mb sgram.

Here's a helpful site for those wanting to I.D. their 3DFX cards. http://www.falconfly.de/identify-3dfx.htm Look for the part number, like MastrDrver's 210-0382-004

Edit 2: Here's pics of the FX5500. I changed the fan on it. I plan on swapping the heatsink later. Fan came off of a Socket 7 K6-2 450 lol.

I thought those Voodoo 5's were really scarce, but there are quite a few in this thread.

Keep them. In a few years they should be worth real money again, if other "old tech" is anything to go by. I heard of someone selling a Ti-99 4a for $1000 a couple years back.

and one BIOS flash later...



Thanks to newtekie1 for his BIOS. Now I have a usable workstation card

The 5500 AGP was pretty common i think. Maybe a 5500 PCI as I think most were sold as AGP at the time since it was only a few years new. AGP didn't get replaced until what? 2003?

awesome. I've got a few cables i need to locate... vga passthrough and audio mostly. I've got an 80GB IDE WD i can use for the OS and Win98SE. I have a 350w power supply that should do the trick for this system. finding ram for cheap is the biggest thing... and those cables. hopefully i can find drivers for the canopus card so i can use the video out to my tv. (thinking of doing a 3dfx powered arcade of sorts)
